Ask an expert advisor

Canon's extraordinary EOS 5D Mark II answers the needs of professional photographers and experienced enthusiasts alike. This thoughtfully designed digital SLR camera offers precise control over virtually every aspect of shooting to help you achieve your artistic vision. It combines a powerful full-frame CMOS sensor with Canon's most sophisticated image processor to deliver stunningly detailed 21.1-megapixel photos. It's also the first full-frame SLR to record widescreen video clips in high definition.

Self-cleaning full-frame sensor
At the heart of this Canon's exceptional picture performance is an advanced, full-frame 21.1-megapixel CMOS image sensor. "Full-frame" means it has the same dimensions as a frame of 35mm film on a traditional SLR, which is much larger in physical size than sensors found in most digital cameras. All that extra surface area has several benefits: superior light gathering, lower noise levels, and extraordinary resolution. You'll get cleaner images with breathtaking depth and clarity, even in challenging low-light shooting conditions. With so much available picture detail, you can heavily crop your photographs and still produce sharp, poster-size prints. An integrated cleaning system ensures your images remain spot-free by using ultrasonic vibration to remove dust particles from the sensor.

Get the "wide-angle" advantage
Fans of wide-angle photography will also love the 5D Mark II's full-frame sensor design. Unlike cameras with smaller sensors, a full-frame camera produces the same picture area (or angle of view) with your lenses as a 35mm film camera. That means your favorite Canon EF lens will be able to capture the entire scene before it, instead of just a portion of the image in the center of the picture. Plus, full-frame cameras such as this Canon offer exceptionally big, bright viewfinder images for easier framing and focusing.

High-res 3" LCD with live view modes
The 5D Mark II's high-resolution 3" LCD screen provides a crystal-clear window for evaluating your shots and sharing pictures or movie clips with friends. It also boasts live view modes that let you compose photos on-screen in real time — just like you would with a point-and-shoot cam. Canon even included a Face Detection autofocus mode that makes it easy to take sharp, in-focus portraits. Plus, you can connect the camera directly to your compatible HDTV with an optional mini HDMI cable to play your still shots and videos back in gorgeous detail.

Fast and flexible shooting
Canon's advanced DIGIC 4 image processor makes it possible to continuously snap 3.9 full-resolution frames per second for capturing up to 78 JPEG or 13 RAW (uncompressed) images in a row. Save your images to optional CompactFlash® memory cards (no memory included). Photo storage options include three different sized RAW modes (great for serious image editing on your PC), JPEG, or RAW+JPEG mode. Use the RAW+JPEG mode to simultaneously record a high-resolution RAW image for editing, plus a JPEG image for convenient direct photo printing or e-mailing. Comprehensive software supplied with the camera lets you fine-tune and efficiently manage your images as well as convert them from RAW to JPEG.

Built to last
Canon wraps all this versatile technology in a strong magnesium alloy body with rubberized grip surfaces. Additional environmental sealing of the 5D Mark II's body provides enhanced protection against dust and moisture. The result is a camera that's rugged, solidly built, and surprisingly easy to hold. With the 5D in hand, you'll enjoy beautiful images with more than enough detail for almost any application.

Develop your photography hobby

You don't have to be an expert photographer to use an SLR  they all offer easy automatic shooting. Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode.

Quality that Works

I was having a hard time deciding between the 5D and the 7D but quickly realized that the full frame difference mattered to me. In short, I do mostly documentary work and use 30fps and love what this camera can do with natural light. It is amazing. My theory, buy it and you will not regret it.

If you can't deicide between the EOS 7D or the EOS 5DMK2 read this...

I must have read every review on every internet forum before pulling the trigger on the 5DMK2. Choosing between this puppy and the 7D was agonizing... until I tried both of them. The 7D is a GREAT camera, but the 5DMK2 is out of this world! I snapped about 400 shots with the 7D in about 2 weeks, and the quality was very good. I used an EF-S 15-85mm lens, and I even used a 24-105mm L f/4 lens with it (both outstanding lenses). The glass matters, and the L lens WAS a lot better. But I have had the 5DMK2 for 5 days... I used it for a company event and took about 300 photos... Just after taking about 10 photos I knew I was going to keep this camera. Today I used it to snap 100 photos of my wife doing a Triathlon in nasty weather, fast moving bikes, runners, close-ups, focusing on her in the middle of a bunch of people... I set it on P, center point focus, AI Servo, and burst shots... The photos are BREATHTAKING! Don't believe all that garbage about the focusing 'issues' of the 5DMK2... The QUALITY of the photos is VASTLY SUPERIOR to the 7D, especially in lower light conditions. Yes, the 7D takes GREAT photos, focuses faster, and it is very sexy to hear the shutter firing at 8 fps, but to me picture clarity is EVERYTHING. At 4 fps my 5D did the job without a hitch. High keeper rate, actually better than the 7D. Once you see what a full size sensor delivers, you will want it. Worth the extra $1k? ABSOLUTELY! no regrets! Crutchfield = SERVICE & PROFESSIONALISM !!!

Hi def in every respect

Written By Paul, Michigan on Wednesday, April 14, 2010

I purchased the EOS 5D Mark II about 5 months ago now and have utilized it for both high resolution stills and for high definition video. The camera does well with its multi point metering to get amazing photos even in difficult lighting conditions, and the great light capturing ability of the enormous and high quality lenses for this professional camera lets you shoot without external lighting even in very low light conditions.

Two wrinkles that may or may not be minor in your opinion:
1) The EOS 5D Mark II does not operate its autofocus while capturing high def video, which seems to be the time when you most need auto focus.
2) The movie mode on the camera is not obvious when you try to start recording. Once you've done it once or twice it becomes a bit more natural, but getting to record video is not clearly defined in the manual nor is obvious from the menu systems. In fact, the menus don't help much at all. Once you are taking video, it takes very good quality HD video at reasonable frame rates 20-30 fps without autofocus. Good sound recording considering the built in microphones.

Excellent camera. Great for low light and difficult mixed lighting conditions, quite good metering even if they aren't as good as Nikon's reference point, and absolutely superb still photos. The kit lens is quite good even for a kit lens. The other lenses that fit are outstanding but expensive. This is not a cheap camera in any way.

Ultimate Upgrade!

I am still a newbie for DSLR. I started on a EOS Rebel XS over a year ago. Wow. I discovered I can do a lot more in DSLR (vs. Point & Shoot). I moved up to EOS Rebel T1i right after it was released. Soon EOS 7D was announced and I started looking into it. I bought the 7D as soon as it hit the street. However, I have tremendous difficulty to get the 7D to give me a clear sharp picture even after I used some of the very best lens like 17-55mm F/2.8 IS and 70-200mm F/4L IS. I was very disappointed. I was debating to step down to 50D or step up to 5D II. Since I already invested in a L-lens, I decided to bite the bullet and got the 5D II. WOW. NICE is an understatement. It is fantastic! It very sharp! Combining with 24-105mm F/4L lens kit, they are awesome. I can forget about the 1.6X crop factor. 24mm mean 24mm. 105 mean 105. The Full-Frame quality is just unmatched. Do I miss the 8fps in 7D? Yes but not really. 5D II can provide much lower noise in high ISO which I really need because I do a lot of low light in door shoots. I am happy!. This is truly an ultimate upgrade!

Impossible to find - well worth the hunt!

This is camera is impossible to find at almost retailer and once you have it you understand why. First of all I'm not a 'prefessional' photographer. Instead I would be classified as an enthusiast or 'prosumer' upgrading from my APS-C camera to a full-frame.

Camera is of excellent build with a solid frame, but it's weight is surprisingly less than you'd expect given it's size and full metal body. Features are outstanding and is only out-matched by the performance of the camera. Low-light situations are handled with relative ease, BUT for those of you who aren't pros note the lack of built-in flash. The sensor sensitivity paired with the right lens makes up for this. UI is classic Canon - easy to use, but the wide range of options can be overwhelming at times.

Video use is nice with excellent picture quality. But if you expect this to replace your HD Camcorder, I'd think twice. If you are shooting a feature film then I'd say it's perfect. If you want to capture moments with your family - think again.

The 24-105mm lens gives makes a great everyday camera especially when traveling. The balance of size and weight with versatility is almost spot on. I am still eyeing the 24-70 f2.8L, but it's size and weight are a deterrent.

I think this camera is well worth the money if you want to get serious about your photography and work with a full-frame sensor.

Canon EOS 5D Mark II Kit

Great stills, great 1080p video. Just make sure you focus before you start taking that video. If you're interested in this camera you don't need this review. If you buy you won't regret it especially if buying from Crutchfield. Thanks Levi!

Camera Features

Viewfinder: The Canon EOS 5D Mark II uses an
eye-level pentaprism viewfinder with 0.71x magnification for approximately 98%
vertical and horizontal coverage. It has a diopter adjustment so you can focus
the viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). When using
the self-timer or remote control, when your eye does not cover the viewfinder
eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece
and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use
the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap, to cover the eyepiece.

Live View: The Live View Function enables shooting your
still subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD
monitor. The EOS 5D Mark II's Live View Function also
makes videos in Full High-Definition. You can access a number of Auto
Focusing modes including Quick Mode, Live Mode, and Face Detection Live Mode. The camera allows you to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for
precise manual focusing. In addition, you can choose from three preset image
brightness modes - Stills display, Exposure simulation, and Movie display. Exposure
simulation displays and simulates how the brightness of the actual image will
look. Live View also offers a Silent Shooting mode, which allows you to shoot a
single frame, or continuously at approximately 3 frames per second at a quieter
level than normal.

21.1 Megapixel CMOS Sensor:
The EOS 5D Mark II features a huge, full-frame sensor. A
21.1-megapixel CMOS sensor delivers images of up to 5616 x 3744 pixels. And
since it is full-frame, all lenses will deliver the angle of view they would on
a 35mm camera without a conversion factor. This comes in handy especially when
shooting with wide-angle lenses. For the flexibility to shoot in even the most
dimly lit situations, the EOS 5D Mark II offers Canon's highest ISO sensitivity
to date, ranging from 100-6400 (expandable to ISO L: 50, H1: 12800 and H2:
25600). Thanks to improved noise reduction technologies, images shot even at
highest sensitivity will be remarkably smooth.

HD Video Shooting: The EOS 5D Mark II is the
first digital EOS to offer recording of Full HD video in Live View Mode. Capable
of shooting clips almost half an hour long at full 1080 resolution, the EOS 5D
Mark II makes it possible to shoot broadcast quality video on your camera by
simply changing settings. Your Canon EOS high-speed lenses and shooting
accessories can be used in shooting video. You can also take a still photo
at anytime by pressing the shutter button completely during movie recording.

DIGIC 4 Image Processor:
The EOS 5D Mark II's sensor is backed up by Canon's DIGIC
4 Image Processor, which speeds up all operations making a number of new
features possible. Processor intensive operations like Face Detection Live mode,
HD video recording and lighting and lens peripheral optimization are all
possible thanks to the DIGIC 4 Image Processor. Developed to maximize
performance between capturing and recording stages of digital photography,
Canon's DIGIC 4 chips use advanced signal processing technologies to enhance
captures from Canon's CMOS sensors. Sophisticated processing algorithms help to
speed up all operations, including write times to UDMA cards

14-Bit A/D Conversion: The EOS 5D
Mark II also offers full 14-bit A/D conversion. The analog output from the image
sensor is converted into a digital signal via 14-bit conversion instead of the
previously used 12-bit conversion, resulting in significantly finer tonal
gradation for better prints.

Lens Peripheral Illumination Correction:
Canon's exclusive Lens Peripheral Illumination
Correction takes into account any light falloff in the corners of the frame and
corrects it, making for a perfectly exposed image. Correction data are detected
automatically on a number of Canon lenses and can be entered manually through
included Canon EOS Utility software.

EOS Integrated Cleaning System:
Canon's Integrated Cleaning system includes a cleaning unit designed
specifically for the EOS 5D Mark II's full-frame CMOS sensor. The camera's
low-pass filter even has a new fluorine coating upon its surface to help repel
dust. Dust that makes it past the EOS 5D Mark II's sensor cleaning system is
easily removed in post processing using DPP software's Dust Detection Delete
function, which can remove dust spots automatically from single or multiple
image files.

Self Cleaning Sensor Unit: A key element
of minimizing dust is preventing it from clinging to the front surface of
the imaging sensor. To combat against this, the EOS 5D Mark II features a
Canon-designed Self Cleaning Sensor Unit. The low-pass filter at the front
of the sensor shakes off dust automatically with ultrasonic vibrations. The
EOS 5D Mark II also has a coating on the front surface of the low-pass
filter to increase its resistance to dust sticking to the sensor.

Dust Delete Data Detection: Dust that may
still remain on the front of the sensor can also be erased with software
included in Digital Photo Professional (DPP) Version 3.3 or later
software. A simple test shot of a plain, white object can be taken, using a
menu setting. This Dust Delete Data image is analyzed in-camera, and the
location and size of any remaining dust is subtracted from any subsequent
pictures taken. This data is transmitted along with the image, whether JPEG
or RAW, and can be either manually or automatically erased in Canon's DPP
software. This added software option ensures the cleanest possible image,
perfect for printing or archiving.

Note: Dust which could not be removed by
the automatic sensor cleaning can be removed manually with an optional
blower.

Recording Media: The EOS
5D Mark II records images on a Type I or Type II CompactFlash Card. The camera is also
compatible with Ultra-DMA (UDMA) CF cards.

Note: No recording media is supplied with the camera.

Image Recording Format:
The camera records 3:2 still images in JPEG
and RAW (14-bit) formats. Simultaneous RAW+JPEG recording is also possible. In
addition, the camera can record video with monaural audio in the MOV format
(Video: H.264, Audio: Linear PCM).

JPEG Image Resolution/Compression: You can choose from the following JPEG resolutions: Large
(5616 x 3744 pixels), Medium (4080 x 2720 pixels), and Small (2784 x 1856
pixels). For each resolution, you can set the compression to Fine or Normal.

RAW and sRAW File Format:
The RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera CMOS sensor
without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto
the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted, then developed and produced into
JPEG or TIFF images using the provided software. You can choose
from the following RAW resolutions: RAW (5616 x 3744), sRAW1 (3861 x 2574), or
sRAW2 (2784 x 1856). You can also record a Large/Fine JPEG image along with a
RAW or sRAW image simultaneously.

Note: Video recording is only available in Live View Mode using
the camera's LCD monitor.

Shutter Unit:
The EOS 5D Mark II has a rugged shutter designed to
withstand 150,000 exposures. Combined with its impressive build quality, this
new shutter ensures that the EOS 5D Mark II will thrive in challenging shooting
environments.

Single Shooting: When
you press the shutter button completely, on shot will be taken.

Continuous Shooting:
While you press the shutter button completely, shot will be taken
continuously. The camera is capable of capturing 3.9 shots per second.

Self-Timer: The camera will
record an image 2 or 10 seconds after pressing the shutter button.

9-Point + 6-Assist Point Autofocus System:
The EOS 5D Mark II has a sophisticated AF system consisting of 9
user-selectable AF points, along with a total of 6 additional vertical and
horizontal AF assist points. The central AF point is cross-type, and is
sensitive to vertical lines at an aperture of f/2.8, horizontal lines at f/5.6.
The AF system is also sensitive to its light source, and can compensate for
focus errors that can occur when multiple sources illuminate a scene. AF points
can be chosen by the photographer using the 5D's multi-controller or preferred
control dial. Plus, the EOS 5D features a dedicated AF ON button.

AF Modes: The camera employs one of 3 AF systems to let you seize every
photo opportunity with fast, accurate focus:

One-Shot AF: suited for still
subjects, the camera focuses only once.

AI Servo AF: for moving subjects when the focusing distance keeps
changing. The subject will be focused continuously while the shutter button
is pressed halfway.

Program AE:
this is a general-purpose shooting mode, the camera automatically sets
the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness

Shutter-priority AE: in this mode, you set the shutter speed and the
camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of
the subject

Aperture-priority AE: in this mode, you set the desired aperture
value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the
subject brightness

Manual
Exposure: in this mode, you set both the shutter speed and aperture
value as desired

Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used
to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look
lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure
compensation amount can be set up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments.

Auto Exposure
Bracketing: With auto exposure
bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-2
stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots.

AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of
focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining
the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted
subjects.

Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes:

Evaluative Metering: the camera's standard metering mode suited for most subjects even under
backlit conditions, after detecting the main subject's position, brightness,
background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure

Partial Metering: effective when the background is much brighter than the subject
due to backlighting, etc, uses approximately 8%
of the frame at the center

Spot Metering: for metering a specific part
of the subject, uses approximately 3.5%
of the frame at the center

Center-weighted Average
Metering: metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for
the entire scene

ISO Speed: The camera's ISO speed can be set between 100 and
6400 in 1/3-stop increments to suit your shooting conditions. The camera
also features a Low ISO setting equivalent to ISO 50 and two High ISO
settings equivalent to 12,800 and 25,600. In addition the camera features an
Auto ISO setting which allows the camera to automatically set the ISO speed
from 100 to 3200.

Picture

when the subject is photographed under a color temperature of 5200 K, the
color is adjusted colorimetrically to match the subject's color, no
sharpness applied.(recommended for users who prefer to process images on
their PC)

Monochrome: for black and white images; you can adjust the
filter effect of the monochrome setting to Black&White, Yellow, Orange, Red,
or Green.

User Defined 1-3: you can register your own Picture
Style settings for Portrait and Landscape modes.

White Balance: You can choose
from the following white balance settings:

Custom: enables you to manually set the white balance
for a specific light source for better accuracy. By selecting this image, you import
the
white balance data for the setting, color temperature:
2000-10000 K

White Balance
Correction: You can
correct the standard color temperature for the white balance setting. It has
the same effect as using a color temperature conversion filter or a color
compensating filter. Each color can be corrected to one of nine levels.

White Balance Auto Bracketing: With just one
shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded
simultaneously. Based on the current white balance mode's standard color
temperature, the white balance setting can be changed from 0 to +/-3 stops
in whole-stop increments.

Color Space: The color space refers to the range of reproducible colors. With this camera,
you can set the color space for captured images to sRGB or Adobe RGB. For normal
images, sRGB is recommended. In the Basic Zone modes, sRGB will be set
automatically.

Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the
shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for
capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc.

Histogram: A histogram is a graph showing the brightness of
an image. The graph display indicates a bright image when skewed to the right
side, and a dark image when skewed to the left side.

Multi-Language: The camera's menus system
supports 25 different languages including English, French and Spanish.

EF Lens Compatibility: The EOS 5D Mark II
is compatible with all Canon lenses in the EF lineup, ranging from
ultra-wide angle to super telephoto lenses. Canon lenses employ advanced
optical expertise and micron-precision engineering to deliver unprecedented
